St. Louis (13-15-7) stays at home following a 1-0 home win over Winnipeg to take two of their last three.

Goaltender Jordan Binnington has carried the workload, starting most nights with a 7-8-5 record and a 3.49 goals-against average.

Rangers vs Blues Predictions and Picks
"It may be wishful thinking to believe the Blues could pull off a second upset in a row, but considering how well their opponent is playing, it's not such an outlandish idea. Yes, New York has been a solid road team this season, but they have won just one of their last six games. St. Louis has some momentum coming into this game and could keep it going against a struggling Rangers team." — Travis Pulver, SportyTrader
"St. Louis has won two of their last three games, but they have allowed at least five goals in three of their last five. I don't trust Binnington in net for St. Louis, but I trust this New York offense even less. Take the Blues at home." — David Racey, Sports Chat Place
"This matchup favors New York's strengths. The Rangers' strong road play and goaltending edge line up well against a Blues team that struggles to finish chances .... New York's goaltending advantage and strong road record give them the edge. St. Louis may keep things close early, but sustained pressure and defensive discipline favor the Rangers over 60 minutes." — Kim Smith, Picks and Parlays
